There is an attempt by liberals to remove an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would protect faith-based organizations that contract with the federal government from being forced to go against their beliefs in order to receive the contract.

Last week Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper signed a letter to President Obama asking that he include religious exemptions in his anticipated executive order pertaining to employees who identify as homosexual. Due to the increased fallout from the US Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision and with homosexual groups announcing their removal of support for the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), Dahlkemper has changed her mind and no longer supports religious freedom for those organizations that may contract with the federal government.
